Now, the term is affixed to anyone who doesn’t promote the radical policy demands of climate alarmists. Left-wing climate website DeSmog Blog criticized The New York Times on April 25, for hiring “a climate science denier.” The person they labeled a “denier,” was Pulitzer Prize winning...

People’s Climate March Steering Committee Got $36 Million from Soros By Aly Nielsen The “People’s Climate March,” scheduled for the 100th day of Donald Trump’s presidency, claims to be a movement of the people.

The liberal billionaire gave them more than $36 million combined. So far the broadcast networks have not made the connection. Between 2000 and...

NYTimes Gives Full Page to Climate Zealot, Backs Him With Two More Julia A. Seymour In case there was any doubt which side The New York Times favors when it comes to climate change opinions, the paper devoted three entire pages to “the effects of President Trump’s environmental policy.” Just a day after Earth Day — on April 23 — the front page of the Sunday Review section of the Times featured an enormous graphic illustration of planet Earth and...

Earth Day ‘Science’ March Dominated by Criticism, Liberal Infighting By Aly Nielsen Thousands of people have expressed interest in attending the “March for Science” this Earth Day, but internally the event was fraught with conflict and many actual scientists rejected the march and refused to participate.

There’s a 9-step program for that,” Fusion writer Caroline Preston wrote on April 4. Grist, which partners with Fusion for the “Climate Desk” program, re-ran the story four days later.

Journalists Pretend Media Darling ProPublica Not ‘Left Wing’ By Aly Nielsen After White House press secretary Sean Spicer called ProPublica a “left-wing blog” in an April 3 press conference, ProPublica responded on Twitter claiming “we’re actually in the biz of facts.” But the “left-wing” description is indeed a fact.

Additionally, The Post is one of...

Slick Rewrite: L.A. Times Blames Climate Change for 28-Year-Old Oil Spill By Aly Nielsen The Los Angeles Times has struck once again in a feeble attempt to sink ExxonMobil.
